Engagements on Canada's next AI Strategy: Summary of inputs

Synthesizes feedback from Canada's largest public consultation on AI policy. The report draws on over 11,300 responses from a 30-day online consultation (October 1–31, 2025), 28 thematic reports from the AI Strategy Task Force, and nearly 300 supplementary policy submissions from businesses, government organizations, and NGOs. Eight priority areas emerged: talent attraction and retention, industry and government AI adoption, commercialization, scaling domestic champions, building public trust, education and skills development, infrastructure sovereignty, and cybersecurity. ISED used these inputs to inform a renewed national AI strategy expected in 2026.
